Sean Eddy developed profile HMMs in the 1990s, ultimately leading to his HMMER project, which includes JackHMMER that AlphaFold relies on. Apparently his work has been determined to be "of absolutely no value to the US taxpayer". Obviously that's not true.

Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. https://t.co/2I7IpaYoKb

New in Nano Letters! Chad Mirkin's (@chadnano) lab shows that DNA nanostructure design on spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) can boost cellular uptake by up to 5-fold. The secret? Ca2+ content and DNA topology.

Jane Goodall had a remarkable ability to inspire us to connect with the natural wonders of our world, and her groundbreaking work on primates and the importance of conservation opened doors for generations of women in science. Michelle and I are thinking of all those who loved and admired her.

Stated at ACIP: MMRV isn’t acceptable for kids <4 to prevent measles, mumps, rubella & varicella.

❌ False. MMRV/MMR vaccines are safe & highly effective. Studies show only a very small increase in febrile seizure risk after the 1st dose.

Australia has approved the first vaccine to protect koalas against chlamydia, a disease that can cause blindness, infertility and death.
